Authorities only released a 15-second video, but court proceedings recounted the violent act, saying Williams struck the child with a belt 62 times while he was sprawled out on the hood of the vehicle.

According to Constable Rosen, Williams admitted to striking the child.

“The suspect claimed the child had taken a little key chain, that’s why he did it,” Rosen said.

Authorities say the boy was transported to a hospital for medical treatment following the incident.
